Abstract
THE CURRENTS OF POLITICAL AND LEGAL PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN SECURITY ARE IN AN INCREASINGLY INTENSE DIALOGUE FOR A RETHINKING OF ISSUES ON THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF STATES, DIALOGUE REFLECTED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF COMMUNICATING VESSELS IN THE METAMORPHOSES OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THE PARTICULARLY DELICATE ISSUES RELATED TO COMPLEX RELATIONS OF "VERTI CAL INTEGRATION" WITHIN THE EU ARE KEPT FROZEN FOR NOW ON THE AGENDA OF THE EU BUT MORE LIKELY THAN THAT, THEY WILL BE THE FUTURE AGENDA OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, AFTER THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS IN 2014. THE SPECIAL LITERATURE IS ADVANCING A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS THAT CAN INDUCE A PALETTE OF PARADOXICAL SITUATIONS WITH ADVERSE INFLUENCE ON EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE. A UNIFIED SOLUTION DERIVED FROM A PERSPECTIVE GOVERNED WITHOUT "EXCEPTIONS WHICH CANNOT TURN IN PRECEDENTS" IS PARTICULARLY ACUTE, AS THE U NANIMOUS OPINION IS THAT THE EUROPEAN TREATIES ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE SOLID AND HARMONIOUS VISION BUILT UPON THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EUROPEAN STATES IS BESET BY SEPARATIST MOVEMENTS IN EUROPE. THE LAST FEW DECADES, AMID A GEOPOLITICAL GIANT REALIGNMENT, HAVE RECORDED A RATHER COMPLEX CONTRADICTORY PHENOMENON, THE DISSOLUTION OF STATE FEDERATIONS (USSR, SFRY, AND CZECHOSLOVAKIA ) AND THE REUNIFICATION OF OTHER COUNTRIES (GERMANY) UNDER A FEDERATION. THE FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS OF ANALYSIS – HISTORICAL LANDMARKS, CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, USE AND REFERENDUM LEGITIMACY, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S INVOLVEMENT, THE EXISTENCE OF ARMED VIOLENCE, THE RECOGNITION OF THE SECESSIONIST ENTITY STATUS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL POINT OF VIEW.
